No, I mean I think the term 'Speculative' is unnecessary if "Fiction" does the job.
If asked what I like to read, I start with "I like to read Fiction." Then if they ask "What kind" I can give specifics, narrowed down to "Mysteries - Police prodedual" or "Paranormal - Romance" or what ever I'm into at the moment if they happen to be that interested.
So far, 'Speculative' just seems like a fancy word for 'Fiction' to me.
